Hi Stevem
It would be nice to used ep_alloc0(). During DICOM export, I have may
small ones (<10kB) and a few big ones.
I like to treat all the same. Not using ep_alloc() I would need to
figure out, where to properly release the memory,
in (or after) a tap. I'm sure I can figure it out, but it will take
some time.
It would be nice, if EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE (10MB) is a minimum size,
but if more is requested, more would be allocated. And I remove the
>>2 in my code, without any side effects so far.

What's the suggested alternative to se_alloc()/ep_alloc()? I need more

Do you need the memory to be automatically released by Wireshark? If
not, use g_malloc(), which is GLib's version of malloc. Note that
g_malloc will cause Wireshark to terminate if there is not enough memory
available (so it won't return NULL). Use g_free() to free it. You CAN
pass g_free() a NULL pointer - it will just ignore it.
